D, I always thought I know a decent amount about random stuff and how it works. You constantly pull things out of the air. Are you a fricking Encyclopedia?

Heheh... far from it.
What I do not yet know could fill dozens of encyclopedia sets, I'm sure.
And I'm also sure that both my employer and girlfriend could go on and on to you in regards to what I do not know...
But I do tend to try and acquire at least an average understanding of things I don't understand as I come across them... and I've worn quite a few different hats this life so far. And I dig on sharing genuine knowledge... I mean, what's the point in having it if not to share it as the opportunity presents itself, eh?
On swamp coolers: I'm not sure if they install them in high-rises or not, but it wouldn't surprise me much. They do still sell them - even in the 'central air' kinda scale. They use a lot less energy than compressor models, and humidify the air at the same time, and - provided you're not using a system that requires ice to function - are tons more cost-effective.
